166 CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. III. 



Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at two stations. 



South-West of Iceland: Stat. 85: Lat. 63°2i' N., Long. 25°2i' W., 170 fath.; 5 spec. 



Stat. 73: Lat. 62°58' N., Long. 23°28' W., 486 fath., temp. 5-5°; 1 specimen 

 in the trawl, but numerous specimens in the Apstein net, consequently 



near the surface. 

 Off Iceland it has been taken five times by the "Thor" in the following localities. 

 West of Iceland: Lat. 65°5o' N., Long. 26°53' W., young-fish trawl; 1 spec. 

 Lat. 65°oo' N., Long. 28°io' W., — — 1 spec. 



South - Lat. 63°n' N., Long. 2i°3o' W., — — 400 m. wire out; 1 spec. 



Lat. 63°o8' N., Long. 2i°3o' W., - — — 2 spec. 

 — - — Lat. 63°05' N., Long. 20°07' W.; 1 spec. 

 Around the Fseroes it has been gathered several times (various collectors). 



Distribution. Taken in Lat. 59° N., Long. i7°5o' W. (by Mag. W. Lundbeck), furthermore 

 in the area between this locality, the Fseroes and the northern Scotland, and, besides, west of Scotland 

 (Copenhagen Museum). It is not uncommon west, south-west and south of Ireland (Walker, Tattersall, 

 Stephensen), and has been recorded from off Cadiz (H. J. Hanseni, south-west of Portugal (Stephensen), 

 and at the Azores (Dollfus). 



This species has been taken many times either near the surface or in young-fish trawl, and 

 is probably always pelagic in the upper strata of the sea. For this reason some records on the depths 

 of the stations have been omitted. 



no. Eurydice caeca n. sp. 

 (PI. XIV, figs. 5 a-5k). 



Male. Body somewhat less than three times as long as broad, and in general outline (fig. 5a) 

 somewhat resembling that of E. truncata, but the last abdominal segment is proportionately larger. 



The frontal plate (fig. 5 b,/) is very conspicuous, uncommonly large, almost as broad as long, 

 subquadrangular, with the greatest breadth distinctly in front of the middle; the anterior end is angular, 

 and the anterior part of the plate covers the inner proximal part of first joint of the antennulae. — 

 Eyes completely wanting. — Antennulse short, reaching about to the end of the penultimate joint of 

 the antennal peduncles. First joint somewhat thick, oblong, directed forwards; second joint moderately 

 thick and directed outwards; third joint long and very slender; flagellum shorter than third joint of 

 the peduncle, 4-jointed, but the first and the fourth joint extremely short. -- Antennae proportionately 

 short, reaching about the hind margin of third thoracic segment. Last joint of the peduncle only a 

 little longer but conspicuously more slender than the penultimate joint (fig. 5 b). Flagellum with 9 or 

 to joints. 



Mandibles (fig. 5 c) normal ; the pars molaris (fig. 5 d) differs from that in E. Grimaldii (comp. 

 my paper in 1890) in having a much smaller number of marginal teeth; these teeth are triangular 

 and much broader than in the last-named form, the proximal teeth being considerably broader than 

 long, while the most distal teeth are a little longer than broad. — Maxillipeds (fig. 5 e) have the joints 

 of the palp distinctly more narrow than in E. Grimaldii or E.pulcltra ; the lobe from second joint (/-')
